Created attachment 172842
  --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D172842&action=
=3Dedit
2016.74

The patch attached updates the port to 2016.74 and sets the LICENSE. Note t=
hat
this release fixes some vulnerabilites:
- Security: Message printout was vulnerable to format string injection.

  If specific usernames including "%" symbols can be created on a system
  (validated by getpwnam()) then an attacker could run arbitrary code as ro=
ot
  when connecting to Dropbear server.

  A dbclient user who can control username or host arguments could potentia=
lly
  run arbitrary code as the dbclient user. This could be a problem if scrip=
ts
  or webpages pass untrusted input to the dbclient program.

- Security: dropbearconvert import of OpenSSH keys could run arbitrary code=
 as
  the local dropbearconvert user when parsing malicious key files

- Security: dbclient could run arbitrary code as the local dbclient user if
  particular -m or -c arguments are provided. This could be an issue where
  dbclient is used in scripts.

- Security: dbclient or dropbear server could expose process memory to the
  running user if compiled with DEBUG_TRACE and running with -v

  The security issues were reported by an anonymous researcher working with
  Beyond Security's SecuriTeam Secure Disclosure
